3. My favorite Christmas movies that are more recent are Elf and About A Boy.

4. I can remember so very clearly hearing Santa's reindeer on our roof when I was a little girl. I still sometimes think I can hear them on Christmas Eve.

5. If I could have the ultimate Christmas wish it would be to have all my family (Aunts, Uncles, Cousins) together for Christmas. We wouldn't even need presents.

6. I don't make Christmas cookies. Maybe someday. But for the longest time there have always been special diets or food allergies to work around.

7. I love love love love love when it snows on Christmas.

8. I have a nativity set that I used to keep out all year 'round, but Gray likes to play with it too much,so I don't have it out this year.

9. It's hard for me to think of my favorite Christmas present ever because every year I get something really great. My mom is a really good gift-giver and she Santa stuffs the best stockings at her house.

10. I don't care for candy canes much. But I do like the cherry ones sometimes.

11. We did not decorate our house outside with lights or anything this year. We say it's to be more "green"- using less energy and so forth- but secretly we just didn't feel like it. It's cold out there, yo!

12. In closing, here's Carter singing you his favorite holiday song, even though it's not about Christmas, I think it still counts:

I have a question for you Steph. I have a 3 month old chunk (he weighs almost 15 lbs) that loves to be held, but is killing my back, I want a stylish, somewhat affordable, comfy sling for him, what do you suggest?

I like your blog! I'm going to add it to my list of favorite blogs if that's okay. We also have a nativity set I love, and I think I may keep it out year round. I thought I was the only one who'd do something like that! I used to love playing with ours as a child, but my parents let me because we had a Fontanini set and they're unbreakable and safe too except some of the pieces are small. Playing with that nativity set was how I first learned about Christmas. I'll just love when my daughter (6 months) is old enough to rearrange them at our house. Have a great Christmas!

HEHEHE I love your list! :) Christmas is my favorite time of the year, I often joke that Santa came and threw up all over everything in our house, everything that can stand still is decorated, and outside is no different! :) As for snow on Christmas, never had that - my parents even took us to Indiana, one year for Christmas (we were 5 and 6) and it was the HOTTEST they had ever had EVER, and we had to buy short sleeve shirts and shorts!

I know I'm behind with this, I've been off blogging and am catching up.We haven't put up outside lights either, unless I have enough time to devote to it on Christmas Eve. When things get too busy I start crossing things off of the list of priorities so I can enjoy the season too.
